LG D803 Stuck in Recovery boot loop!? - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have an LG G2 here that my friend managed to get stuck in a boot loop. I have tried installing a fresh ROM & once i hit restart the phone boots then shows LG logo and next thing you know I'm back in TWRP. I have tried putting the phone into download mode with no results also it just simply opens back up TWRP :/
If anyone can help me out with this i look forward to hearing from you, as of right now I'm completely stumped & she is without a phone!

I was able to get back Download Mode & Install a Custom ROM. Now I've run into a new problem. She now has a half working rom... No Data (APN's wont save), Computer doesn't recognize internal sd size so no transfers can be done unless using adb to push. Lastly i tried going back to stock by installing the kdz but for some reason the program wont start the process it starts installing divers then nothing after that it doesnt startan install
Anyone have any ideas?

Black screen on recovery boot

So I rooted my g2 then I used clockwork mod app to install recovery. Well I booted to recovery and it's just sets at a black screen. When plugged into a computer it pops up to format like 30 drives. I have tried the recovery batch file for cwm and it results in the same thing. Tried flashify and flashing twrp and still have the same thing. Please I have no idea what else to do.

I ended up flashing back to stock and then rooted with ioroot15 and then followed these instructions http://www.android.gs/install-twrp-recovery-lg-g2/ It worked.
But me being an idiot didn't take my titanium backup off the phone before the flash so I lost all my settings. #draganddrop #oopsies

Hello,
I am on VS98012B as well. I rooted with 'ioroot24' .. That all went fine. Now when I am trying to install a custom recovery (got botched the first couple times) ... now I can not get the phone to pop up the RSA fingerprint and when I try to boot into recovery using ADB commands or quickboot the phone just goes to a black screen and if it is plugged into the computer (windows 7) it pops up a bunch of different drives at me like endleesss was having. I could use and would appreciate some pointers!
Thanks!

I am getting this exact same problem, I used ioroot25, which also went fine. When I go to reboot into recovery I just get a black screen. When I boot into recovery with it plugged into my computer I also get Windows telling me that I need to format a bunch of drives before I can use them. I also get one drive that lets me open and it has a "images" folder in it, with a bunch of other files inside that. Not sure what is going on but any help would be awesome.

Seeing this exact same thing after going to a 4.4.2 ROM. I was coming from a 4.2.2 with TWRP 2.7 and now cannot get back in to recovery mode. I get just a black screen and also see the multiple drives popup when I plug in USB to the pc. I've tried flashing different recoveries with no luck. Hope a fix for this can be found.
Same problem but worse
I have this problem as well and have known that it needing fixing. Problem is the phone tried to auto-update to kitkat at night and now all i get is lg logo some commands in the top left then it tried to install via stock recovery. I can't get away from this as far as I know yet. I can't get to dl mode to just flash stock. I feel i might be completely boned. I tried pulling the battery ribbon to see if that would kick it out of this commanding it into recovery but I really don't know what to do at all at this point. Can someone help please or atleast tell me im boned so i can try to salvage. maybe do a warranty replacement. Thanks in advance
This thread will help with the "drives popping up", "black screen" etc..
--------------------------
For the ones with fastboot issue who can't enter dload mode:
download yor corresponding laf.img
Download this
extract it, put your laf.img inside(rename laf.bin to laf.img if needed), run "run this", you should be able to boot to download mode.

I was able to follow all of the directions in that post though it doesn't seem to have done the trick. I have left a post in that thread asking their opinion on things but idk if it will be answered since it is such a large post.
If you have any experience with these partitions, could you direct me to a way to stop the device from trying to run the OTA. This seems to be the largest problem as to why its not working since it pushes itself into recovery every boot, though it seems the recovery partition flash didn't take for some reason.
I am using 64-bit Ubuntu could that be an issue?

[Q] Sprint LG G2 (LS980) Stuck in Bootloop

Well it's been a while since I broke a phone, so here I am!.... again
LS980. TWRP Rooted. Failed CM. Now stuck in boot loop.
I'm running Windows 7 64bit. I have latest LG drivers. Phone can boot into recovery but nothing else. I cannot boot into LG's "Download Mode". I can get into the "Hard Recovery Mode" which doesn't work anyway (Vol Up + Power). From recovery I can select to wipe cash and data and I can select to install from sdcard (no cards on this thing) or from ADB. When selecting ADB and trying to sideload stuff to it, it tries to load but always fails. If I try to push stuff it always comes back :closed
I cannot access any form of Fastboot. All i can do is let is loop or enter recovery. Since it seems to be the only thing I can access, can someone please assist me in what I should be trying to sideload that might get me a step further? I cannot fastboot so anything there isn't an option. Seemingly all I can try to do is sideload something. What... I'm not really sure. And no :crying: I don't have a backup.
Please help!

You were right, I was doing it wrong. Once I got into download mode it went easy.
Response to others, I found that if I held vol down by itself long enough, the phone would stop bootlooping and shut off. I could then properly go into download mode.

1. Hold the power button until the device is OFF.
2. Download LG drivers to the PC (LG VZW_United_WHQL_v2.11.1) and LG mobile support tool (B2CAppSetup).
3. Install these packages.
4. Plug in you USB cable into the phone but not the computer.
5. Hold volume up and insert the USB cable to the PC- the phone should boot to 'download mode'.
6. Open the support tool and click Options>Upgrade Recovery, follow the prompts.
7. At the first prompt indentify your phone using IMEI/ESN, then click OK
8. Let it do its thing, the phone will reboot and most likely have a bunch of error messages and some FC's. Just hit okay to all messages, the phone will settle after 2 minutes or so.
9. Download freegee from market and reflash recovery of your choice.
10. Make sure you have a ROM saved to the SD to flash
11. Use freegee to reboot to recovery
12. Once in recovery you can reflash the ROM as normal.
13. Reboot and Profit!
*$* Or you could go back to Stock and start fresh!
*$* BEFORE ANY FLASH ALWAYS STOP and MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP!
Good Luck and if you get stuck let me know
Similar issue
I'm stuck in bootloop, no custom recovery or root. All data has been deleted. I have tried the LG support tool, but it locks up. It also tells me my device is a test model, something bad has happened. I can get into download mode but can't flash stock, via the flash tool. It says wrong device, and at the download screen where my phone says rooted it says the model is a D802! Somehow this info got jacked up! I can almost make it through the D802 flash but it fails also. I only did that to confirm my suspicion that the phone thinks its a different model. I'm open to anything, I've tried it all.

How was this resolved?

[Urgent Help Required!] Phone boots, but no download mode or recovery!

Hi,
Have a weird situation, but try as much as I may, I'm unable to resolve it.
My phone is rooted (international D802) and was running fine. Had a screen issue and got it replaced at the service center but their system identified my phone as a rooted device, and a couple of days later the problems started.
The issues I'm facing right now:
1. The phone doesn't charge when switched on, at all.
2. The phone doesn't reboot either.. not instantly anyways. If powered off, or rebooted, the phone doesn't turn back on, it just goes dead. It does boot again though if tried after a couple of hrs.
3. The phone charges when its off (shows no light or indicator though, like its bricked)
4. Cannot go into either recovery or download mode. Coz the phone doesn't boot when restarted or when i try to reboot into recovery.
5. When it does magically start after a few hrs (upon long pressing the power button), even if I try to go into download or recovery via the vol keys, it just boots to android.
6. The phone is recognized properly as LG G2 under windows and all the drivers install too.
7. The phone isn't recognized under Linux... tried both Ubuntu and Knoppix.
Travelling out of the country in a few days, really need to sort this out.
Any and all help/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Somebody... Anybody? :'(
When your phone rebooted I would recommend you firstly to activate USB Debugging in the developer settings. You said your device is rooted? So try to install the Auto Rec recovery here
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=13763 - but make sure you are on Kitkat. Now, install the app normal and let the app install all things. After installation, the app asks you to reboot to recovery, now press reboot to recovery.
Maybe you have luck and the phone reboots to TWRP. In TWRP you can go to Reboot and then Reboot to Download mode.
Now (if all worked) you can flash the stock rom .kdz file of the d802 via the FlashTool 2014.
Hope you have luck, please keep me up to date if everything worked.
Yours, Flo
Good luck!!
Thanks a lot for the response Flo, but the problem is that i never got around to updating to a Kitkat rom... the rom i was never got updated and I was kinda happy with how things were working so didn't jump on to any other rom.
Anything I can do in my current situation?

[Q] LG G2 D802 Bricked..help me please

Hi!
I managed to get my device totally bricked.
Phone is on bootloop and I only get LG logo and then "Security Error" message. I can't enter recovery mode or download mode. Only mode I'm able to go is the "Hardware key control mode" mode, where I can see my IMEI code. I can't get windows or linux to recognize my phone. I've tried several drivers, but no luck getting my laptop recognize my phone. I have also tried couple of tutorials to solve this problem, but the main problem seems to be that I can't get my laptop to recognize my phone.
Is there anything I could do or should I just buy a new phone?
Hi Jutei,
What led to this bricking? Were you trying to install a ROM? Which ROM was it? Was it a wrong variant? Please be specific as to what you did to brick it..
Also, some people have seen success by installing this driver. Are you familiar with ADB?

Hi deathbytalkshow!
I ended up to this stage by rooting with this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448887) and trying to flash with this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development-d802/rom-xenonhd-d802-t3036576).
First I wiped data and cache. Then rooted and it went trough with no problems. I tried to flash with this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.rommanager. It booted to recovery and started flashing. Soon it said that flashing failed and after reboot I found myself in this bootloop.
Hope this helps someone to help me.
Try this:
1. Turn phone off.
2. Press POWER+VOL DOWN
3. When LG Logo appears, immediately release POWER+VOL and press and hold VOL UP+VOL DOWN

Hi, I tried this and got to the factory reset window. It started to do reset, but pretty soon it booted and went back to bootloop. So this didn't help. I'll try those ADB drivers today.
Hi, tried adb drivers, but no luck. My laptop still doesn't recognize my phone. USB gives power, but beside that windows doesn't seems to notice that my device is plugged. Is there anything else I could try?
so you didnt make a backup before flashing? what recovery did you flash? i bricked my phone with rom manager before and will never use it again but i had a backup and was still able to get it to eventually boot into twrp to restore.

Yeah, I was stupid enough not to backup. The recovery was the stock one. Is that where I went wrong? Should I've had custom recovery installed?

I turned usb-debugging was on before phone got bricked. I think the phone should be found somehow on computer. For example this fix (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48765620#post48765620) needs Linux to recognize the phone, but I can't even do that. I guess the problem here is that my phone won't enter the download mode. I'm going to try with couple of different computers when I get back home from my holidays.
I also found another fix to try. I have to drain the battery and after a little re-charge I should be able to enter the download mode. I'm trying this next.
yes thats where you made your mistake. that also makes me think download mode wont work period, but im not positive. im surprised rom manager even tried to flash anything without a recovery. thats why i dont use apps like that anymore because you wouldnt of been able to **** it up that bad on your own. so you said you tried the key combo to take you to the factory restore? if you didnt flash a recovery then i would think you could get that to work. did you look into lg's flash tool? maybe that will somehow read it. i remember seeing a post in the general forum about a way to take the phone apart and short the chip out but ive never had to actually read it so i couldnt tell you whats all involved. sorry bout your phone.

Well, I just got myself in the same boat.
The phone will show the LG Logo then the security error and shut down. When plugged in with a USB to the PC it will just reboot.
Nothing is showing in Device Manager either. I done the same in the stock recovery and I tried to Side load CM12 it failed and straight into this loop.
I got nothing now. I just done see how shorting circuits will fix the issue when it's just software. Absolute nightmare as the 12 months warranty has gone.
I tried to do a hard reset and I get the android man saying its working then it shuts down and starts the error again. I'm unable to get in the Download Mode either and I'm stuck
I don't know what to do now. The flash and Support tool will not recognize the phone.
jfletch86, I tried LG Flash Tool, but the problem is that it just says no devices found. Same problem with fix I linked, I can't do anything to my phone if my laptop doesn't find it. I'm beginnig to loose hope

Oh man, I'm sorry to hear that you are in the same boat. Symptoms are the same. It seems that we have bricked our phones pretty badly. Hopefully someone comes up with fix that works. Problem is that anyone wise enough to fix this isn't stupid enough to end up this stage.
I'm hoping the same too. I just don't know why it wont allow me to do anything.
I have a nexus 4 and I've never had a problem.
I am getting nothing when plugged into my PC and its like the phone is turning on and off in the boot loop and the lg symbol.
I get the hard reset menu but the computer still doesn't recognise.
I just feel sick at the moment !!

LG G2 D802 brick problem (I tried different solutions)

Hello everyone!
I really hope I can find help here. I wanted to install Cyanogenmod 13 on my LG G2 D802 32GB. In the end I think I bricked my phone. I want to mention that I already searched for help on the Internet and tried many tutorials, but nothing helped.
First, I rooted my phone using this One click root method (before, I tried doing that other ways but it didn't work). So far, so good.
Then, I installed TWRP via Autorec. And here came the first problem. I booted into recovery mode and then the phone wouldn't start anymore. I started getting "Security error" along with Lg logo, when I wanted to turn on the phone. Actually I can't remember if I wiped everything in Recovery mode before or after getting this error, but I did anyway. Then I didn't get this security error message anymore, just stuck with lg logo.
Anyway I was still able to get into recovery or download mod, so I tried installing CM. But I couldn't acces my phone memory through PC and I didn't have CM installer zip on the phone. I tried copying CM installer into the phone using ADB push command. It did copy, it said it succesfully installed but since then every time I turn on my phone Lg logo just blinks for a fraction of a second and the phone will not turn on. The screen is black, but it remains "on" (there's nothing on it but you can see it's not totally turned off).
After that I tried every tutorial I could to install CM or stock ROM. I tried downloading different LG firmwares, including one found on a page where I had to enter my IMEI. But it's always the same problem: when I use LG Flashtool ( 1.0.54 ) it gets stuck. After clicking on System Upgrade I'm not asked about the language (as tutorials suggest), but it just opens LGMobile Support Tool, which says that my system is up to date.
OK, I think that's all I can say. So, the main problem is that I cannot use LG Flashtool, which is neccessary to install stock ROM in all the tutorials I have seen. Of course, I would like to install CM 13 still, but now th emost important thing is to get my phone to work again, even on stock system.
I hope we can solve this problem. Thank you all in advance!
Can you boot in download mode?
If you have download mode you can easily reflash stock

Thanks a lot. I followed the instructions in the first post on the first site that you linked, using kdz file. Everything seemed to go well and I was already happy, but... It seemed that the stock flashed (on the computer it said that the installation was correct, on the phone the screen showed Update Software and it went to 100% percent), then the phone restarted and started updating apps for Android. And that is normal I suppose. But then, after it finished, it turned off, turned on and started installing those apps again. After that it turned off. When I wanted to turn it on, it showed me LG logo and then android logo for a fraction of a second. Then sometimes it would turn off completely and sometimes turn on again and show logos again. I assume that's what is called bootloop. So I followed the tutorial which said I should do factory hard reset. I entered the screen (power+vol down buttons), confirmed two times that I want to do the reset. It said the reset will start automatically, but nothing happened. The phone just turned off immediately and the same situation with logos (Bootlooping?) appears. So the problem now is that I cannot factory reset the phone.

I'm having a similar problem on my vs980 except I can't access recovery anymore but everything else is the same.
Edit: I actually can access recovery
You messed up pretty bad before you fixed a problem, you created another.
Have you tried to go back to stock using downoad mode and kdz?

OK, well, this is strange. The phone is working again, but actually I have no idea why I downloaded the tool from your link, installed it and ran. Then, following the yt tutorial, I went to the step where I was supposed to "look and remember the disk number that have so many partitions". I didn't anything there, though. And then, all of the sudden the phone started updating Android apps and then turned on as after factory reset. Weird, but it's working fine
By the way, can someone post a link to a tutorial on how to install Cyanogenmod 13 on LG G2 D802 32GB? I would still like to install it, but I want to avoid all the problems that I had now. So is there any good step by step tutorial that I could use to install CM?
Anyway, thanks all for help

Sure.
Download the rom from cyanogenmod website and put it on your phone memory.
Download Gapps from opengapps.org and place on the phone memory.
Go to recovery.
Make a full nandroid backup( all the partitions) , wipe all except internal storage.
Flash the rom along with the gaaps zip.
Reboot.
